Soaring vs. Flapping
In another post we were talking about soaring vs. flapping flight.
Does anyone else find it strange that Soaring flight is so rare in nature but so popular with us for the last 100 years? I've heard that the Wright Brothers patented Wing Warping (Flapping) and never let anyone develop planes using Wing Warping flight. Is that true? Does that explain why the designs up until the time of the Wright Brothers were all Bird-like flapping designs and after were all fixed wing soaring designs?
